Description c sights 2011-12-03 12:01:40 UTC
Currently LibreOffice limits the enlargement of menu fonts to 130%.  Would be nice for us visually impaired if they could be enlarged further.  There is still plenty of room for larger fonts at 130%.

What would be the correct limit ?

Best regards. JBF

I suppose one has to worry that if the zoom is too large the program's dialogs would become unreadable do to the fonts being too big.  But that is okay so long as reducing the zoom size is still possible.

Offhand, how about 400%.  This would be good enough for me at least!  :)
